I've been working on my first folder (a slip joint) and was surprised at the work involved in getting the geometry of the blade shape,
tang and back spring just right. To those of you who make folders, how do you go about your design & build process?
Do you use pencil and paper or CAD software? Do you start from scratch every time or reuse your templates & alter them for new designs?
Do you make prototypes to iron out the bugs? I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
